This study used an immunisation/challenge model of transplacental transmission, based on the Qs mouse with an Nc-Liverpool challenge to investigate the vaccine potential of a number of formulations based on four recombinant proteins of N. caninum. A mixture of MIC10 and p24B produced partial protection against transplacental transmission of N. caninum in this mouse model (Ellis et al., 2008).
Note: MIC10 must be used in conjunction with p24B in order to confer protection against N. caninum.
